So im struggling pretty hard rn. As summer ends the days are gonna get darker and more overcast and this is where i start to struggle big time with migraines. Something about overcast skies, dark days and artificial lighting makes me feel dizzy and sick pretty much constantly to the point where I cant even read text and just want to hide under covers and close my eyes but unfortunately my day job requires this.
So far I have found i get some comfort from cooler diffuse lighting specifically from my SAD lamp pointed at my wall but these shits are expensive and i cant exactly line every corner of my house with them. Most bulbs are too warm or flicker too much so other than spending hundreds gluing lumie lamps to every surface idk what to do.
Edit: Alright looks like im spending half my savings on Hue bulbs. Thanks Philips
Philips hue’s protocol is actually ZigBee! Same with IKEA Tradfri and most of their current line. I just use all of these things through Home Assistant with Z2M.
There are other manufacturers, but it can be tough to identify which individual products are good or bad. Clearance/sale Hue bulbs are my preference for most things, since they’re really well smoothed.
Yeah hue is quality it’s just my ethics side saying don’t support companies that do anti consumer bullshit, even if they can be used how you want
But tbf that line of thinking is literally impossible as pro consumer company is an oxymoron
